Teletherapy for New Jersey

Do you identify as LGBTQIA+? Is your relationship or family struggling? Do you have a child or family member who has recently come out? I would like to support you in looking at the concerns that are renting space in your thoughts and spirit. I can help you sort out your feelings, thoughts and choices in deciding what, if anything, you may wish to do. I am comfortable assisting with individual or couples work, child or adult, parenting, family struggles, anxiety/depression, gender identity/fluidity, polyamory/ethical non-monogamy, and/or navigating any medical or social/emotional journeys related to intersex conditions.

I believe that healing is a collaborative endeavor that requires honest caring without judgment, and cooperatively assists my clients in clarifying their goals for treatment. Rather than adopting one methodology for all individuals and issues, I draw from a variety of methods to create a tailored approach for each individual and situation. As a therapist, I am warm, open, encouraging, and direct. I considers myself an active therapist, combining experience, education, creativity, and sense of humor with a down-to-earth, realistic approach to counseling.

I greet you with enormous respect for having the courage to ask for help. I use humor, sarcasm, enthusiasm and... even some occasional profanity when embracing the complexities of real-life with you. As a dually licensed therapist, I am qualified to treat most issues- mental health and alcohol/drug addiction. I enjoy working with adults and adolescents suffering anxiety/depression, addiction, life-transition issues, grief/loss, career related problems, gay/lesbian population, divorce & family related issues.

My approach to psychotherapy encompasses listening for the "life story" and helping a person understand and reach self-acceptance. I have extensive experience helping individuals with severe psychological trauma, grief & loss, eating disorders, sexual abuse and all aspects of substance abuse including the impact on family life. I also treat individuals with depression & anxiety. I have worked individually and in groups for the past 30 years. In addition, I have worked with couples and families. My office provides a warm and safe place where an individual can explore and come to increased peace with yourself and those in your life.

Therapy as a collaborative process in which we work together to understand the problems that have brought you in, and work towards mutually established goals. Psychotherapy involves verbalizing your thoughts and feelings, exploring relational and behavioral patterns, and learning how past experiences may impact you now. Through this process we strive to gain greater awareness of how both conscious and unconscious processes play out in your emotional and relational life. Ultimately, therapy can help individuals come to better understand themselves and enjoy greater choice in their lives.

Making the call for counseling is often the first step you can take in beginning the healing process. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in New Jersey. I can counsel individuals, couples and families and specialize in working with clients dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship problems or life transitions including but not limited to divorce, loss of a job or death of a loved one. I strive to create a safe and comfortable environment to foster your own individual strength.

Congratulations on taking the first step- it’s often the hardest! We all seek happiness, self-gratification and inner peace; and at times we all need support getting there. I have been practicing as a clinician in the field for over 15 years. I’ve built my career on developing mental health programs and providing clinical counseling for the most vulnerable youth and adults. I have worked in various professional settings helping clients with issues of trauma, stress, anxiety, loss, grief, chronic illness, and relationship and interpersonal issues. Additionally, I have a passion for working with LGBTQ youth and their families.

Do you want to connect better with a teen or partner, heal from anxiety, depression, or trauma, cope with grief, or change your relationship with alcohol or opiates?

If you grew up with emotionally unhealthy parents, experienced trauma, or abuse, you might know you need therapy but feel afraid of taking that first step. Starting therapy can feel scary and uncertain. You might not be sure if you will be able to open up and receive the help you need. Through the work we do together, we can find a way through the stuck spaces inside so that you can allow yourself to feel intimacy in healthy relationships, know your power to make choices in your life, fully experience your positive emotions, and trust your ability to know that you are finally safe.

You have tried everything you could to feel better, but you’ve reached the point where you need some extra help. The anxiety, depression, and/or trauma that are weighing on you daily has started to impact your job or school performance and relationships. You are feeling burnt out. Therapy may be new to you and it’s common to feel nervous about starting the process. We can work together and create a plan to help you manage and decrease stress. I will teach you healthy skills to use for coping, communication, reframing thoughts, and changing behaviors. I can help you feel empowered so that you are more in control of your life.

Ellie Mental Health located in Morristown and Parsippany are a new kind of therapy counseling clinic. Our team of talented and experienced therapists customize treatment plans based each client's needs. Our newly decorated office provides a welcoming and comfortable environment. We use Virtual Reality (VR), yoga, play therapy, and mindfulness techniques to enhance treatments. We measure our results to help our clients get the most out of each session. We accept all major insurance. We offer evening and weekend hours. We have sessions in person or online, based on our clients' needs.

In my practice, I see the normal, everyday person who needs help managing their emotions and behaviors. We make mistakes and life can be confusing. I’m here to help with that. I am a warm, caring, compassionate professional with a special interest in working with adults, children, adolescents, and families. I am dedicated to helping individuals find their strengths, accept their flaws, and motivate themselves to make positive changes in their lives. I help people make goals, motivate themselves to change, and find ways to implement strategies to make those adjustments in their lives.

Have you ever felt like the world was ending or has your mind raced with a million thoughts and worries? Have you ever experienced high conflict in a relationship thinking things will never change? Did you ever struggle to accomplish what you think are basic tasks or lack the motivation to get out of bed in the morning and brush your teeth? Sometimes life can just feel overwhelming. These struggles are more common than you think and you are not alone.

The last couple of years have left us feeling isolated, lonely and definitely confused! Plans and goals were derailed leaving some of us to wonder how things will change... I call this the "worried-well". This is a way that functioning individuals focus on the negative, despite success in everyday life. But there is a way out of this and into a more positive, life-embracing mindset!

Heal your past so you can live in your present, and then plan for a future worth living. I see my job as being a guide. I utilize creative modalities to guide you in facing burdens you carry from the past, so you can put the pieces of your life back together.

My strengths-based approach combines cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapy, solution-focused techniques and holistic ways to treat your entire being including mind, body, and spirit. My approach also embraces a positive view of queer identities and relationships while addressing the negative influences that homophobia, transphobia, and heterosexism have on the lives of the LGBTQ community. I personally understand there can be complicated feelings towards your own sexuality/gender identity along with the struggles of being a queer person of color, and can help you navigate these adversities.
